Answer: a road bicycle measures 1.8 m (length / span), which is about 1.1× smaller than the reference, a Velociraptor at 2 m.
A road bike’s wheelbase is barely a metre; the wheels themselves add the rest.

A modest cruising yacht is commonly around ten metres long.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a cruising sailboat when it sits beside an American school bus — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
